Title
Pretreatment of seed with H2O2 enhances drought tolerance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings
He Liheng; Gao Zhiqiang; Li Runzhi AFRICAN JOURNAL OF BIOTECHNOLOGY 2009. doi:10.5897/ajb09.490
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect H2O2 pretreatment raised germination rate 56% over water pretreatment under drought.
- Intervention effect Seedling H2O2 level was lower after H2O2 seed treatment under drought.
- Intervention effect Treated seedlings had higher net photosynthetic rate, leaf area and dry weight.
- Intervention effect H2O2 pretreatment enhanced membrane stability.
- Intervention effect H2O2 pretreatment reduced membrane damage rate and malondialdehyde content.
- Intervention effect Treated seedlings had higher catalase and ascorbate peroxidase expression.
- Mechanism The authors suggest H2O2 triggers persistent antioxidant activation that alleviates oxidative damage under drought.
